SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER

BATTERY SAFETY

nBattery operated units do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in oper- ating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit is not operating.

nRemove the battery pack from the chain saw before cleaning, servicing, storing, removing material from the unit, changing accessories such as the bar and chain, or when not in use.

nA battery pack must be recharged only with the speci- fied charger for the battery pack. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use battery pack only with charger listed.

nTo reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury, Do not place battery units or their batteries near fire or heat.

nDo not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

nA damaged battery pack is subject to explosion. To avoid serious personal injury, properly dispose of a damaged battery pack.

nBatteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery pack can propel debris and chemi- cals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

nDo not charge unit in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

nFor best results, your battery unit should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F (10°C) but less than 100°F (38°C). Do not store outside or in vehicles.

nUnder extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat- tery pack leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.

nDo not dispose of batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. Batteries should be recycled, consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.

nWhen battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery pack terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

CHARGER SAFETY

nSave these instructions. This manual contains impor- tant Rules for Safe Operation and operating instruc- tions for charger.

nBefore using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery charger, and product using battery charger.

nTo reduce risk of injury, charge only nickel-cadmium type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage.

nDo not expose charger to wet or damp conditions.

nUse of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

nTo reduce risk of damage to charger body and cord, pull by charger plug rather than cord when discon- necting charger.

nMake sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

nAn extension cord should not be used unless abso- lutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:

a.That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of plug on charger.

b.That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and

c.That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:

Cord Length (Feet)

25'

50'

100'

Cord Size (AWG)

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gage

nDo not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug. If damaged, have replaced immediately by a qualified serviceman.

nDo not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

nDo not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

nTo reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

nDisconnect charger from power supply when not in use.

nRisk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated por- tion of output connector or uninsulated battery termi- nal.

nSave these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this unit. If you loan someone this unit, loan them these instruc- tions also.
